CHAPTER 13; PRE-WEDDING ADVICE

At the garden was a beautiful decoration very simple of red and white roses on a gazebo, all for the wedding.

After King Elvan came back ,some other loyal soldiers of Raven also came back. Apart from Ashley prince Raven also has three other loyal soldiers who had accompanied the King.

"This is a surprise my prince, you finding a mate and getting married quickly I have never seen this even in my wildest dreams" spoke Damian who is the youngest and a blabbermouth amongst all of Raven's soldiers. He has red eyes like all vampires and blonde short hairs, he is tall but not taller than Raven and he has a good physique.

"It's not that much of a surprise, it was going to happen. Every vampire has a mate and our prince got his" Toby spoke, he is a half vampire half Sersian. He has blue eyes and long red hairs , he is of average height and also good physique. He is not a blabbermouth but talks a little.

"Congratulations my prince" finally Jameel the senior of all Raven's soldiers, very nonchalant and serious guy. Red eyes with brown hairs, tall like Raven and good physique. Gives best advice

"Am glad I didn't join you guys and became the person to witness our prince meeting his mate" Ashley teased the others as he had a look filled with pride. Ashley also is talkative and cheerful, has red eyes and black hair which he mostly ties up. He is light skinned as he is a mixture of a white mother and black father.

"Yeah we know shut up, my prince we are your soldiers please don't send us with the king next time, we don't hate the king or say that we don't want to serve him but we are very happy by your side. Please we even missed this historical event of you meeting your mate" complained Damian with a pitiful face as if missing the chance of his prince meeting his mate is like missing blood for a week.

"Stop crying you idiot, not everyone is destined to see that" Ashley teased again with a smile.

"Okay, I only sent you with the king because I knew he would be safe with you" Raven explained to them.

"What about your safety, I even heard you got attacked by some minions of Aston if it wasn't for your mate . So please my prince don't ever send us away from you," Damian spoke firmly as if he was commanding the prince.

"Okay I get it, you will serve me forever from now on" Raven assured them and Damian wanted to jump and hug him but that would be weird and he Damian is too cool to be weird.

"My prince time to get ready for the wedding," Ashley cut in

"Okay everyone go get ready too" Raven spoke and they all left only leaving Jameel there because he will help him get ready and they need to speak about something.

After they left their Prince's chamber Ashley started talking about their soon to be crown princess.

"She's powerful, she slashed the beasts in one move" Ashley explained

"No way, what's she?" Damian asked

"We actually don't know yet" Ashley responded as they left the hall

In Ziah's bedroom was Emma helping her with her makeup, she was dressed in a beautiful golden shoulder dress with corsets. Her temporary black hairs were tied up very beautiful and she had a very simple makeup that didn't hide her beauty. A golden transparent veil was on her face, she looked very breathtaking and Emma just couldn't stop looking at her beauty.

"Your highness you look beautiful, gorgeous oh breathtaking I have no words. You look like a goddess, am so happy to serve you. I give my life to you, I will serve you to my death" Emma expressed herself and kneeled when she made that oath and Ziah was just shocked.

"Oh please Emma I don't want you to chain yourself to me, you may want a family please. I want you to be free with me okay, I see you as a sister and a friend not just a servant okay" Ziah touched Emma's hands and Emma was so happy that Ziah saw her as a sister and a friend. It's not allowed but she embraced her as a tear rolled down her face.

"Thank you my lady, you're so nice. I have been an orphan and to hear someone seeing me as a sister it's just so heartwarming" Emma expressed her happiness as she continued hugging Ziah

"Come on even I am an orphan but am not longer an orphan because I have you as a sister, the Queen as a mother, the king as a father, Huma and Seth as little siblings and Raven as the man of my life. I have a family already" Ziah spoke as she also hugged her tighter

Emma broke the hug and wiped her tears looked at her again with a smile " you look very beautiful sister" she complimented her as she watched her with lovely eyes

"It's all because of you my sister, now stop crying. It is a happy day, I can't believe am getting married." Ziah touched her lips as she was still having a hard time believing everything.

"Yes and you're going to be Mrs Raven" Emma spoke with a chuckle

"Please explain to me how the wedding in Morekvia occur because I don't want to look like a lost cat there" Ziah talked with a chuckle and Emma just laughed at her then continued to explain

"So the first Prince Seth will walk you up to the half way of the path and then the King will walk you to Raven. There you will meet Raven standing and behind will be two large chairs, then princess Huma will take you to seat on the right side and Raven will be seated on the left side. The Queen will bring two drinks, don't worry it's not blood" Emma was explaining when Ziah cut her

"What's in the drinks?" Ziah asked quickly

"It's the bonding drink made of herbs that will connect the both of you, after drinking the queen and the king will tie your right hand with the bonding string and Raven will be tied on his left hand. Then the bonding will take place, so I have heard from stories that some people when bonding will see the past of their partner or themselves. Some will see the future and somethings like that but it's just different to every couples. While the bonding continues, the string will glow red and when it changes to blue then the marriage is done. The priest will allow Prince Raven to put a ring on you and you will give him a ring and that's all. But am sure the Queen will explain this again to you," Emma explained to her and then added " then all is left is the bonding night"

Ziah suddenly shivered after hearing the bonding night, she had heard back in the human world what married couples would do at night and thinking about it she got nervous. Emma saw her nervousness and had to comfort her

"Don't worry Raven loves you and am sure it's your first time that's why you're scared but it will be great. Am telling you my lady, you will have the best pleasure in the world" Emma assured her

"Have you ever done it?" Ziah asked innocently and Emma nearly laughed at her but she just chuckled

"Yes, I know it's bad to do it out of marriage but I don't regret doing it. It was the best, am speaking now as your sister. Because I see how much prince Raven loves and cares for you so he will be gentle and make sure he makes you happy. You don't have to worry about anything, your body will automatically do the rest just enjoy" Emma wasn't shy as she was explaining to her and Ziah felt relaxed at her explanation.

" So what do I do, I mean can you give me hints am clueless here" Ziah asked shyly

" Now listen and don't be shy when am explaining okay, after the marriage the Queen will escort you to the room. Raven won't there, just get yourself ready " Emma spoke seriously

"Ready? How?" Ziah asked curiously

" Remove your heavy dress, get a bath,let your hair down and wear something simple don't worry I have already placed a nightgown for you it was chosen by the queen. Also I have prepared some beautiful scented shower gel in the bathroom, then after getting yourself ready breath in and out then go sit at the bed side and wait for him to come " Emma explained again

"I don't know how to kiss, I have never kissed anyone " Ziah added looking a little sad because she lacked some kissing skills

"Don't worry, when he puts his lips on yours just wait for him to do the job. First he will nibble your lips just enjoy it, then he will poke his tongue on your lips. That means he wants to enter his tongue in your mouth, all you have to do is let him in and now follow whatever he does. Let your tongues dance okay, don't be shy. Am telling you Ziah you will enjoy it, don't pop out your eyes he will feel like you're scared just let the feelings sunk in and enjoy. That's all I can say as a sister, " Emma finished and Ziah was now relieved to learn everything and she was hellbound to accomplish everything and a determination smile formed on her face.
